Hello Anaplanner,
Can a non work space admin user run an export action and have the export file saved to a centralized location that is not the user's local computer?
Thanks,
Lily
Hi Lily,
I think the short answer is that it is possible for a non-admin to run an export actions. However, in order to have that file saved to a centralized location an API or Anaplan Connect script would be needed. Note, there are some privacy considerations when setting up these shared exports and it is recommended that only administrators be allowed to run them. Including a link to documentation private vs. shared exports:

When an export is manually triggered within the model, it will automatically download the file and save the file based on the user's browser settings (typically a downloads folder on the local computer).
Hope this helps!

We're looking to feed live or near-live Anaplan data into Claude through MCP, but our current approach — exporting CSV files via the Anaplan Bulk Export API, loading them into MySQL, and querying from there — has a significant lag (hour-long turnaround). Curious if anyone has found a faster path, whether that's through the…
Has anyone tested Analyst’s response quality/speed on large, sparse models (think 10+ dimensions, millions of line items)? Wondering if there’s a practical ceiling before it starts timing out.
We've been building a tool called aplan4sheets and we'd genuinely like input from this community — both on what we've built so far and on what we should prioritize next. The problem we set out to solve: Anaplan's Excel add-in is Windows-centric, and there's no real native way to pivot Anaplan data in Google Sheets. We…
